The family went grocery shopping on Saturday.
Food was abundant, albeit more expensive than in the past, it was the other consumables that we had a hard time finding. Things like shampoo, body wash, mouth wash, cleaning supplies, foot spray, OTC drugs, were low, especially the store brand generics.
Today I went to Walmart at lunch and it took was low on a lot of non-food supplies.
Some specialty food items like Gatorade/sports drinks have been low or empty for weeks.
I haven’t seen store shelves this picked clean since the early lockdown days of COVID over a year ago.
This time is different.
In Red states, the lockdowns are essentially over. Everyone who wants the vaccine has gotten it and everyone has chosen to risk it.
Manufacturing, transportation, and distribution should be back into near-full swing. The economy should be recovering fast.
Instead, it looks like we’ve rolled the clock back 18 months and we’re about to get fucked.
I think the bottom is about to out of the market and it’s going to be a disaster.
